Hey Arakis—can you connect to any other NWN2 server?

Yes, that's right...I have this little button on my computer, and when I press it, it shuts off Greece from accessing the Server!

How much you gonna pay me to take my finger off that button?!? :lol:

Mav40...oh, the book I could write.

Anyway, it could be those shady Greeks are hosting anonymous targeting servers, which create DDoS attacks, and thus, while you are the kind fellow yourself, sheer preservation must demand your tiny little island gets TIMED OUT. :lol:

Get your modem to renew its IP from your ISP.

Hey, there is nothing wrong with my island! I can log from work just fine... just FINE.

Hm, on second thought, maybe it is the game trying to tell me i should work less.... or more... depending how one sees it

EDIT: TAKE THIS STEVE!!! Reseting my router fixed it! Rob-you-blind ingame :evil:

Here's something strange. Resetting the router did not help, and the IP has remained the same from the day the problem started to today.

But as I tried to randomly log in today, I got in just fine. I have no logical explanation as to why, since the IP remains the same. But it works now, I'm glad =) I really hope it'll work for those who still have problems with it.

Nevermind... I'm back to being timed out again =/

Couldn't connect yesterday for quite a few hours, tried after the server restarted and it didn't help. Changing my ip by restarting the modem worked though (I was just too lazy to do it right away :) )

Restarted modem, PC and naught helps me get on today.


I've also been experiencing some pretty noticeable lag with the server otherwise.


Research also shows that my ISP does NOT provide static IP and instead links an IP to a MAC address forever and I've no idea how to change MAC address. If you want dynamic, you need to pay out of your nose.

Hello!

I've been trying all that is said on this post to try to conect to the server but is impossible (waiting time exceeded message appears always). The strange fact is that i can connect with other servers. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Thank you.
